I live with my husband for the sake of the child, what can I do? Client case.

Hello, friends.

There are often cases of family relationships when, instead of love, tenderness and understanding, everyday issues come first. Issues of earning money, the responsibilities of everyone in their role, raising children.

Of course, in life there are different stages of relationships and crisis situations. And if there is a need to temporarily sacrifice intimacy and feelings to achieve certain goals or overcome difficult circumstances, this is not scary. Provided that these sacrifices do not last long and family relationships do not deteriorate.

Usually no one plans in advance that a crisis that was temporary will lead to a complete loss of loving and trusting relationships. But unfortunately, this is what happens most often. The situation starts, each partner withdraws into himself, with his wounded feelings, lack of intimacy, trust, lack of support. What seemed like temporary tension became a harsh and cruel reality. The family remains only in documents and, at best, in public.

This is no longer a family — a performance that spouses put on in order to maintain status in the eyes of other people. And also the need for everyday help to each other so that you can survive.

Love is lost. Trust and support are lost. Understanding is forgotten. All that’s left is cohabitation and fulfilling responsibilities. Often there are children in such relationships.
